Chapter 4090 Dark Jade Bodhi
Ye Bufan smiled faintly; how could he expose his trump card first at this moment?
"Sect Leader, I'm not very knowledgeable and have never seen a bodhi heart before. Could you let me have a look?"
His words were very polite, but his meaning was clear: if you don't let me see the bodhi heart, how can I show you the Chaotic Origin Energy?
"Hahaha, it was my oversight.
Dan Wang is a guest, and I am the host, so I should express my sincerity first."
Zu Taibai was quite straightforward and didn't act coy. He waved his hand, and a golden fruit appeared before him.
This object was about the size of a volleyball, shaped much like a coconut, with natural, ancient patterns on it. It emitted a golden glow and a rich Spiritual Qi.
"This is a bodhi heart!"
After seeing this, Ye Bufan's pupils contracted, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"It seems the outside rumors were true; the bodhi heart is indeed in the Tiansheng Sect."
Zu Taibai smiled faintly: "By chance, I happened to obtain this treasure. It's a pity I haven't used it for so many years. If Dan Wang needs it, please take it."
The old man spoke very politely, but he held the bodhi heart in his hand without letting go, his meaning very clear.
I have already expressed my sincerity; now it's your turn.
Ye Bufan naturally understood his intention. With a flick of his wrist, a grey gas the size of an egg yolk appeared in his palm.
Compared to the golden jade bodhi heart, this object looked somewhat unremarkable and dim, but its rich Chaos aura was undeniably real.
"Sect Leader, I only have this much Chaotic Origin Energy. Do you think we can exchange?"
Zu Taibai stared intently at the Chaotic Origin Energy, feeling the rich Chaos aura, his eyes filled with unconcealed excitement.
"Yes, Yes, I've said it before, a good horse deserves a hero. A treasure like the bodhi heart should be given to Dan Wang.
The reason for exchanging it for something is just to give an explanation to the Elders."
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the bodhi heart flew directly in front of Ye Bufan. This was his territory, so he wasn't worried about the other party going back on his word.
Ye Bufan did the same, waving his hand to send the Chaotic Origin Energy over, then grabbing the bodhi heart in his hand.
"In that case, Sect Leader, we have completed the transaction, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."
Zu Taibai carefully put away the Chaotic Origin Energy, nodding with satisfaction: "Dan Wang is right, we exchanged voluntarily, and from now on, we owe each other nothing."
"Since that's the case, I still have matters to attend to. We'll meet again tomorrow."
Ye Bufan didn't waste any more words with the old fox here. After bidding farewell, he left directly.
Zu Taibai and Yin Tao escorted him out the door, then both returned to the main hall.
"Congratulations, Sect Leader, you finally got the Chaotic Origin Energy as you wished."
After congratulating him, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yin Tao's eyes, "Sect Leader, the bodhi heart is a treasure of heaven and earth. Did you just give it to him?
Should I arrange for someone to intercept him midway and seize the treasure back?"
"Hahaha, no need."
Zu Taibai was filled with excitement, taking out the Chaotic Origin Energy again and holding it in his palm to examine it carefully.
Yin Tao was a bit surprised, so generous? This wasn't his master's style!
"Sect Leader, what do you mean?"
"Hahaha… Since the item has been given, I will no longer hide it from you.
That bodhi heart was originally fake. For so many years, the outside world has rumored that this treasure was in my Tiansheng Sect, which was quite troublesome.
This exchange for the Chaotic Origin Energy seems entirely worthwhile.
Afterward, you secretly arrange for someone to spread this news, saying that the bodhi heart was given to Ye Bufan, and then our Tiansheng Sect will be completely quiet."
"So that's how it is, Sect Leader's strategy is truly brilliant!"
Yin Tao gave a thumbs up, then asked, "But Sect Leader, was that really a fake bodhi heart? Why couldn't I tell?"
"That's because you lack experience."
Zu Taibai said, "In this world, Yin and Yang coexist. Since there is a sacred medicine, the Golden Jade Bodhi, then there is its accompanying other half, the Dark Jade Bodhi.
On the surface, this object looks exactly like a true bodhi tree, but its attributes are completely opposite: one is pure light, and the other is extreme darkness."
Yin Tao's face was filled with astonishment: "Sect Leader, do you mean that what you gave out was the Dark Jade Bodhi?"
Zu Taibai said with emotion: "That's right, that thing was indeed a bodhi heart produced by the Dark Jade Bodhi. When I first obtained it, I was also overjoyed, thinking it was a true bodhi heart.
Only after bringing it back did I confirm that this was the Dark Jade Bodhi. It's a supreme treasure for dark Cultivators, but it has little use for us.
This is also why it has been perfectly preserved for so many years; a dark-attributed treasure is of no use to my Tiansheng Sect. If it were a true bodhi heart, I would not have leaked even a shred of information about it; no one would have known."
"So that's how it is."
Yin Tao said, "Sect Leader just said that the Sacred Jade Bodhi and Dark Jade Bodhi are coexistent. Why didn't you continue searching? Perhaps you would have found the true bodhi heart."
"You misunderstood. Coexistent means that if there is a true Sacred Jade bodhi tree in this world, there will be a corresponding Dark Jade Bodhi born.
But these two treasures don't grow together. Perhaps they are close at hand, or perhaps they are far away at the ends of the earth; no one knows where the other is.
I was indeed a bit unwilling to give up back then and returned to the place where I obtained the Dark Jade Bodhi, searching the entire vicinity, but unfortunately, I found nothing."
Yin Tao nodded: "So that's how it is. It seems I am shallow in knowledge.
How ridiculous that Ye, that boy, is truly blind, thinking he got a treasure, but he took away the Dark Jade Bodhi."
Zu Taibai smiled triumphantly: "That boy has the title of Dan Wang and is said to have divine Medical skill. At first, I was really worried that he might see through it and realize it was a fake bodhi heart.
But it seems my worry was unnecessary; he's completely undeserving of his reputation and didn't spot a single flaw."
Yin Tao said: "That's normal. He's just a young lad; how much knowledge could he have? I think he's just undeserving of his reputation.
Moreover, this Dark Jade Bodhi looks exactly like the Sacred Jade Bodhi, and no one has truly seen it, so how could he distinguish it?"
Zu Taibai said: "You're right. Before, Wu Xuzi and the others rumored that this boy was a Rebirth Cultivator, but it seems it was just a rumor. He has no real knowledge."
Yin Tao suddenly showed a worried expression: "Sect Leader, do you think that boy will discover something is wrong and then come looking for us?"
"So what? When I gave it to him, it was verified, and we just agreed that once the transaction is complete, we owe each other nothing.
What I gave him was a true Sacred Jade bodhi heart. As for why it changed, how would I know? What right does he have to come looking for me?
Besides, I've already used up the Chaotic Origin Energy. What can he do if he comes? Does he dare to be an enemy of my Tiansheng Sect?"
At the end of his words, Zu Taibai burst into laughter, clearly very proud of his scheme.
"No matter what, exchanging a Dark Jade Bodhi for true Chaotic Origin Energy, we've made a huge profit this time!"
